I was being sarcastic Shelia. I know why people can’t stop saying Israel is committing a genocide, it’s because Israel is committing a genocide. In full view I may add.

Jon, there hasn't been a time in my life when Israel wasn't being accused of some crazy nonsense. With the Iranians now, it's that Israel is stealing the clouds. 10 years ago, on the John Kerry campaign, it was poisoning the wells. It's endless.

Maybe if they stopped fucking bombing everyone, people wouldn’t think so poorly of them. Well except they’d have to stop sniping people too and they’d have to stop remote detonating cellphones and they’d have to stop stealing land at gun point and they’d have to stop starving people and they’d ha…..

See, Israelis have been told, "if only you stop..." since...forever. They tried and tried, but at soon as they stopped doing whatever made people mad, there was a new demand. So, that has finally added up to a whole lot of "NO" and it isn't going to be easy to get that anger down. New leaders maybe.

That’s because they’ve been incomparably violent their entire history from the nakba to today. The demands will keep coming if they keep doing new grotesque violence all the time.

The truth is, that someone will come along and take all of this as me whining like "Jews always do" and I will say to myself that I should have known better. Even my dog is fair game so every tiny thing I say is going to end up confirming someone's bias.

There were demands before Jews were a twinkle in anyone's eyes. Jews were always foreigners in other nations. They couldn't assimilate because there were laws that forbade them; they learned skills they could carry in their heads, then were punished for those things. I see the same thing with Israel

I would give up years of life if the other side would do the same, and peace could prevail.

And yet you appear to support a regime that don’t want peace. And we know they don’t because they keep telling us they don’t.

Some of that may be true but it doesn’t alter the reality of what we are all seeing today. The main problem that apologists for genocide are going to keep bumping up against is the modern age. Denying what everyone can see just makes you look ridiculous.

Well, I gave you a very good reason why people keep saying that isn't what you say it is.
